Why 3! At the junction on the spectrum

At the junction of Faith and Recovery, there are many differences.  But there is one common trait.  Everyone is human!  All are on the human spectrum from Amazing to Horrid.  Most are not in the extremes.  But both worlds get a black eye from the few who are extreme.

Why 2 Episode 13

Why 2 is about how both Faith and recovery have to fight to be real and honest in the face of the reality of the biblical text.  how both have to fight the temptation to just alter the meaning of the revealed scripture to fit our preferences.

Why? One!

In both Recovery and Faith, the unspoken question is Why.  It is why about everything.  Why God?  Why higher power?  Most especially Why Jesus?  Sometimes the answer comes if you ask the right question in the right place.

Three Worlds Episode 10

There are Three Worlds at the junction of Faith and Recovery,  One is the Recovery World in groups like AA and NA, and OA.
Another is the Faith world of Faith recovery and the world of Churches of all kinds.
But there is a third world.  This is the human world which is embedded in the two other worlds.
I call it the chaotic world where humans are human in all their broken glory.
And broken knows no boundaries.

Gratitude at the Junction of Faith and Recovery

What does gratitude look like in AA?  How is gratitude used in secular recovery?
What form does gratitude take in Faith communities?  What is Faith and how is it related to gratitude.

An inside look at AA meetings.  A tour for the uninformed.

Episode 6 At the Junction of the River

Both Recovery and Faith are like rivers of people on a journey.  Lazarus Recovery Podcast can be like a guide to a riverboat navigating great rivers of people that are seeking safe passage.

Episode 5 Recovery Folks talking to the Faith folks.

What would happen if church folks could have an honest talk with folks in Recovery.  I am from both places.  I am a blended person.  This is forty-some years of experience in the church and in recovery.  Prepare to be challenged, but listen let me know your thoughts or curses!  Remember I am in the family!
